House Dems introducing bill to raise minimum age to buy assault rifles

House Democrats on Wednesday plan to introduce legislation that would raise the nationwide minimum age to buy assault-style rifles from 18 to 21.

The legislation, which is part of the Democrats' plan since taking back the House to address mass shootings, would prohibit anyone under the age of 21 from buying semi-automatic rifles. There would be exceptions made for active-duty military members and some police officers.

Across the country, most states permit anyone 18 years or older to purchase a semi-automatic rifle, even though federal law stipulates that the minimum age to buy a handgun is 21.

What, exactly, is an "assault-style rifle." Is it like a Yugo automobile (a tiny and poorly functioning car of the 90's) with racing stripes painted on the hood? That is to say, does a purely cosmetic feature make it a "racing competition/high speed/high powered style car"? No, it does not. And a semi automatic rifle does not transmogrify into a fully automatic capable rifle by having a plastic body (lighter weight), high mounted sights (resists muzzle rise) and a folding and adjustable stock (more compact to transport and adjustable to many body sizes for better accuracy).
